About Clara

Clara Solomon-Carmack is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with six years of clinical experience. She helps adults and young people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, compulsive behaviors, and relationship struggles. Her practice includes support for problems that come with guilt and shame, such as eating and exercise concerns, social media and internet gaming issues, and gambling.

Clara uses a mix of approaches to understand how patterns form in relationships and behavior. She pays attention to attachment dynamics and to how thoughts and habits feed distress. Sessions include practical skills alongside reflection about what keeps old cycles going. That means both learning new coping tools and looking at how past experiences shape current responses.

When people describe trouble saying no or losing themselves in relationships, Clara addresses those patterns directly. She works on communication, setting limits, and reducing over-responsibility without blaming. For those affected by substance use or compulsive behaviors, she combines behavioral steps with attention to underlying emotions.

Clara also supports people dealing with grief, chronic health challenges, caregiver stress, and identity questions that affect relationships. She pays attention to commitment and control issues, dependent or avoidant personality patterns, and attachment wounds that interfere with trust.

Sessions are conversational and practical. Clients can expect clear goals, skill practice, and ongoing check-ins about what helps. To begin, people choose an online matching option and schedule a first meeting to see if the approach fits their needs.

How sessions work

How Clara’s therapy approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It looks at trust, closeness, and how people respond when they feel rejected or abandoned. This approach can help when someone keeps putting others first or fears intimacy.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete exercises to change unhelpful thinking and habits, useful for anxiety, depression, and compulsive behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds practical emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills for handling strong feelings without reacting impulsively.

Finding the right mix is part of the work. Clara will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences. That means testing methods, tracking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into daily life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or avoiding travel time. They also allow focusing on skill practice and real-time problem solving in everyday settings. Ask about session length and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire to see what will work for you.
